PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 22/12. Up 1.04%.) If you want to focus in on utilities, this is a good one but it could be a little too late to get into this one.
TOP PICK
His theme today is Defensive. Canadian utilities. Solid ETF. The only concern is that it only holds 13. 5.6% dividend yield.
COMMENT
Equal Weight Utilities Index ETF. Price of utilities have been pushed up quite a bit because of 5% yields so from that point of view, this may not be the best time to buy. Now that they have the covered call component on it, it makes it a little more interesting because the covered call premium generation can help offset the too high prices it is at. Likes it.
BUY
Equal Weight Utilities Index ETF. Likes this one but a few months ago, one of the component’s stocks blew up and lost about 7%. Thinks it's a lot safer now. Good yield of around 6%. Will be subject to interest rates if they go up dramatically.
BUY
Equal Weight Utilities Index ETF. Equal weighting as a risk management tool is probably not too bad. Won’t grow as much as emerging market ETFs but will be more stable.
BUY
Utilities. Good yield. It could be a good time to get in. A decent choice if income is the objective.
BUY
Sort of thing that will give predictable, reliable distribution.
